Final Day Of Campaigning Before Mexico's Presidential Election

In Mexico, Wednesday is officially the last day of campaigning for the country’s next president.

It’s been a campaign season much like what we see in the U.S. — attacks coming and going from all directions, campaign ads saturating radio and the Internet.

Jorge Valencia from KJZZ’s Mexico City Bureau has been reporting on the campaigns and joined The Show this morning to talk about what the atmosphere has been like on the last day of the campaign, how much a new president can change U.S.-Mexico relations, what people are hoping the new president will do and how violence has shaped the Mexican electoral process.

Jorge Valencia was a senior field correspondent at KJZZ from 2016 to 2019.
